Recorded at Insight Meditation Satsang
Online,
April 22, 2025
DESCRIPTION
This week at Satsang, I’ll build on the conversation of the last couple weeks about how meditation works, and maybe finish our conversation about the benefits and mechanisms of daily practice.
I’m wondering if this finishes up the “Dharma Life Reset” theme. The idea was to start the year off with a broad foundation for daily life practice. I think we’ve gotten to most of the main points I was thinking about, and I’m curious where we should go next. Reply and lmk what you want to explore together!
